Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Cannot mimic the action of 'echo' with C Post 302936064 by jjb on Sunday 22nd of February 2015 04:55:12 PM

I realised that the C code didn't quite match what I was trying to achieve in that it was sending "break" and not <break>. This was as a result of me trying various things and the bash script I pasted was out-of-sync with the C code.

It did turn out to be a carriage-return and line-feed issue and was to do with the way I had set up the serial ports. Issue is now resolved.
